If you have specific goals in fitness or health or even in life, you need to ask yourself a couple different questions. One of which is how bad do you want it?

Do you CRUSH every AMRAP? Do you finish first or get more rounds in than everyone else? Well, your training probably blows.

How to not get results when you are trying

You've been working out forever and haven't changed much. Why is that? Let's take a closer look!

This will be an interesting discussion on how our effort levels can fool us.

The idea of your health being an option versus a responsibility dictating the results you get ?

Goals get accompany by doing something you weren't doing before. Exercise Expert an Human Performance Coach Tony Cress talks about a simple concept you must understand to get what you want.

If you've ever gotten private sessions with someone like a personal trainer, did you get what you could've out of it, or could you have done more?

How much motivation do you need to reach your goals?

Do you abhor training? Think twice about that.

more and more we are getting people who actually work out and try to stay healthy, having increased chronic pain in their shoulders, lower back, hips and Knees. A lot of times the way that those people work out contributes to increased pain and not decreasing it.

As we age, we give a lot of credit to that process. What AREN'T we giving credit to?

If you are like most people, you don't like working out. Here's how I can help.

These things and ultimately affect us if we don’t ask ourselves questions about what we are missing.

I'd love to be one of those folks who say they gain muscle too easily...

You may want to sit down for this one. It's uncomfortable and may make you defecation, but might be something worth listening to.

What is the exercise frequency to lose weight or gain muscle? How many times a week do I need to work out?

What a question! I go off a little bit here, but the answer may not be so obvious! Working out is... What? This is kind of a can't miss talk.

The things we do on an everyday basis have a significant effect on who we are. Are you making mostly right decisions or mostly wrong ones?
